WiTricity Corp. Home — Wireless Electricity Delivered Over Distance

Wireless Power Transmission - PARISE RESEARCH TECHNOLOGIES WIRELESS POWER TRANSMISSION in PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION Wireless Power Transmission is a means by which large amounts of electrical energy may be transmitted through the atmosphere from a power source in one location to a receiver and consumer of electric power at another location. This electric power transfer is accomplished without wires by using microwaves to transfer the energy cleanly, safely, silently, securely and unobtrusively. Although this technology has been around for many years, especially for use in space applications, PARISE RESEARCH TECHNOLOGIES plans on bringing it to fruition in a unique terrestrial application over the next several years to power remote electric energy-consuming devices. These all-electric vehicles will have the following advantages over present-day systems: A brief summary of the technology may be reviewed here. Below is a pictorial presentation of the many uses and advantages of using this technology in this newly patented application.

WiTricity WiTricity is an American engineering company that manufactures devices for wireless energy transfer using resonant energy transfer (oscillating magnetic fields). History[edit] The term WiTricity was used for a project that took place at MIT, led by Marin Soljačić in 2007.[1][2] The MIT researchers successfully demonstrated the ability to power a 60 watt light bulb wirelessly, using two 5-turn copper coils of 60 cm (24 in) diameter, that were 2 m (7 ft) away, at roughly 45% efficiency.[3] The coils were designed to resonate together at 9.9 MHz (≈ wavelength 30 m) and were oriented along the same axis. One was connected inductively to a power source, and the other one to a bulb. Automobile manufacturer Toyota made an investment in WiTricity in April 2011.[6][7] In September 2012, the company announced it would make a $1000 demonstration kit available to interested parties, in order to promote development of commercial applications.[8][dated info] Technology[edit] Radiation levels[edit]

untitled Do you have old GX260’s in your classroom that feel like more trouble than they are even worth? What about student computers (desktop, laptops, and netbooks) that frequently need to be re-imaged due to the ever present tinkering that helps students understand and use technology systems. You know the students (young and older), they figure out how to delete or hide the toolbar, but haven’t yet figured out how to restore it. Rather than trouble-shooting each challenge that arises, it is much easier to restore the operating system back to the state you originally intended, than to trouble-shoot each issue. Well now there’s a device that enables you to load a computer with all sorts of educational applications in under 5 minutes! This stick is truly uber. The uberstick is a 1.9 gb thumbdrive that re-images netbooks, laptops and desktops. How do I get it? Why Open Source? How do I re-image a computer (netbook, laptop, desktop)? How do I use the quick recovery features?

TMC and WiTricity Form Wireless Battery-charging Alliance | TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION GLOBAL WEBSITE Apr. 27, 2011 Toyota City, Japan, April 27, 2011—Toyota Motor Corporation (TMC) has entered into a technological collaboration agreement with Massachusetts, United States based WiTricity Corporation * concerning the practical application of automotive wireless charging systems and the promotion of their widespread use. TMC plans to participate in a WiTricity capital increase. WiTricity's charging technology uses resonance, which allows charging without direct contact and is more efficient than electromagnetic-induction, another wireless technology—but one that requires contact—that is starting to come of age in mobile phone and other chargers. TMC believes that resonance wireless charging is suitable for automobiles and aims for its early practical use. The collaboration is aimed to accelerate development and eventual implementation of wireless charging for automobiles. * website:

One Laptop per Child How the WebOS Evolves? Here is my timeline of the past, present and future of the Web. Feel free to put this meme on your own site, but please link back to the master image at this site (the URL that the thumbnail below points to) because I'll be updating the image from time to time. This slide illustrates my current thinking here at Radar Networks about where the Web (and we) are heading. Note that as well as mapping a possible future of the Web, here I am also proposing that the Web x.0 terminology be used to index the decades of the Web since 1990. This makes sense to me. See also: This article I wrote redefining what the term "Web 3.0" means. See also: A Visual Graph of the Future of Productivity Please note: This is a work in progress and is not perfect yet.

The Futurist: A Future Timeline for Automobiles Many streams of accelerating technological change, from energy to The Impact of Computing, will find themselves intersecting in one of the largest consumer product industries of all. Over 70 million automobiles were produced worldwide in 2006, with rapid market penetration underway in India and China. Indisputably, cars greatly affect the lives of consumers, the economies of nations, and the market forces of technological change. I thus present a speculative timeline of technological and economic events that will happen for automobiles. 2007 : The Tesla Roadster emerges to not only bring Silicon Valley change agents together to sow the seeds of disruption in the automotive industry, but also to immediately transform the image of electrical vehicles from 'punishment cars' to status symbols of dramatic sex appeal. 2009 : The Automotive X-Prize of $25 Million (or more) is successfully claimed by a car designed to meet the 100 mpg/mass-producable goal set by the X Prize Foundation.

untitled Everyday, we blitz you with news of exotic technologies that will change the world — and so does everyone else. You’d have to be Ray Kurzweil to keep it all straight. But luckily, technologist Michell Zappa has created a simple cheat sheet mapping out all the buzziest technologies in development today. There are two layers of data at work here. Electronic paper is already here; pico projectors are near; and retinal displays and skin-embedded screens are perhaps two decades off. By CLIFF KUANG, Mon Mar 7, 2011

untitled DARPA (the defense advanced research projects agency) is the R&D arm of he US military for far-reaching future technology. What most people do not realize is how much revolutionary medical technology comes out of this agency’s military R&D programs. For those in need of background, you can read about the Army & DARPA’s future soldier Landwarrior program and its medtech offshoots as well as why DARPA does medical research and development that industry won’t. It has been said technology is neutral, it is the application that is either good or evil. The Areas of Focus for DARPA in 2007 and Forward Are: Chip-Scale Atomic ClockGlobal War on TerrorismUnmanned Air VehiclesMilitarization of SpaceSupercomputer SystemsBiological Warfare DefenseProstheticsQuantum Information ScienceNewton’s Laws for BiologyLow-Cost Titanium Alternative EnergyHigh Energy Liquid Laser Area Defense System
